Type: article

Abstract: Hepatolithiasis is a rare condition requiring multidisciplinary treatment approach. In this case report we present a case of multiple hepatolithiasis successfully treated with right hepatectomy. A 54 years-old asymptomatic female with previous history of hepaticojejunostomy for recurrent CBD stone was diagnosed with hepatolithiasis during routine follow-up. Hepatolithiasis has multifactorial causation one of which is thought to be previous biliary surgery. This case report highlights the importance of routine ultrasound imaging during follow-up of the patient with history of previous biliary surgery for early detection of hepatolithiasis thus, mitigating further complications.
